September 1, 1913, the first day of the University of Huntelaar. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the founder and owner of Huntelaar University, John would not miss this important day as long as he was in New York. In the auditorium of the Huntelaar Medical College, he gave a rather casual lecture to hundreds of students and hundreds of faculty members across the university.

This speech was carefully recorded by many professors and students.

Of all those present, including John? Huntelaar himself did not realize the importance of this speech in just ten minutes, even more than the time he was in Europe! From the concept of biomedical models to the development of medical research, from the improvement of clinical technology to the innovation of medical education, and even the principles of drug development and clinical trials, etc., it lit a bright light for everyone present.

In the decades that followed, the content of John's speech will be verified.

While John was speaking in New York, Xiangya Medical College was in Changsha, Chinese mainland, for its first opening ceremony. Yan Fuqing, a graduate of the Huntelaar Medical School, also gave a speech, which was of course very different from John's, but it was no less significant—a speech that was firmly remembered in the history of Xiangya Medical College and spread throughout China for more than a decade......

The world in 1913 was relatively peaceful.

At least in the Far East, everything is so calm. Europe's energy was focused on the competition between the two major military blocs, and the Japanese were busy with their own business, so China ushered in a golden age in history.

Perhaps because of the financial and arms support of the Huntelaar consortium, Yuan Datou avoided the embarrassment and helplessness of the big loan in history, so the pressure on his body was reduced a lot. And because the interest on the Huntelaar consortium's loans is very low, and it is paid in full, the life of the Beiyang government is much better, at least as far as John knows, the salaries of professors at various universities in Beijing are paid on time and in full, which is much better than in history.

And......

Because of several reminders from the head of the Huntelaar consortium, some of Yuan Datou's behaviors have also been reined in a lot, such as retro behaviors such as respecting Kong, and privately advocating the superiority of the imperial system. These things can't help but make John start to look forward to, what would Congress be like without that farce?

Therefore, in addition to warning Yuan Datou, Huntelaar Bank went all out to promote China's New Culture Movement!

The large amount of financial support, the acquisition of more newspapers, and the publication of more Western books and new textbooks by Huntelaar and their very low prices in China all allowed the New Culture Movement to be born and develop rapidly, and at the same time, it was also changed by John's intervention compared to history......

……

Thousands of miles away, the atmosphere over Europe was miraculously lighter, as if the confrontation between the two blocs had begun to ease, and people began to devote their energies to balls and all sorts of novelties.

It's just that in the dark, the air is getting hotter and hotter.

No matter how mild the atmosphere was on the surface, but in fact the arms race between the two major military blocs did not relax in the slightest, the Germans were desperately trying to build more warships, especially the decisive super battleships, and the British were of course even more unwilling to lag behind, not only vowed to continue to suppress the Germans in the navy, but even the army began to expand, desperately increasing its strength. As for the powerful German Army, in order to improve its combat effectiveness, it even abandoned its usual pride and began to buy foreign arms, such as the machine guns and rapid-speed artillery of the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company, which provoked Britain and France to constantly protest to the US government.

In response to this protest, US President Wilson also fought very hard.

Mr. President just thinks of the huge power of the Huntelaar consortium in the United States, and then thinks about the support that Mr. Huntelaar has for himself openly and secretly, especially thinking that he will not be indispensable for this kind of support for a long time in the future, President Wilson can only hide his bitterness, and on the surface, while appeasing Britain, France and other countries, he clearly states that everything is a commercial act and has nothing to do with the confrontation between the two major military blocs......

The U.S. economy is still on fire.

The death of JP Morgan was a sensation, but after the banking crisis a few years ago, the US economy recovered completely, except for the Huntelaar consortium, which benefited the most. Exports are growing extremely rapidly, especially for industrial goods, which are already close to half of the total. Coupled with the fact that the domestic population continues to grow, the expansion of the market has made the U.S. economy prosperous.

The most eye-catching, of course, is the Huntelaar consortium.

No matter how many opinions there are internally, how many are not optimistic externally, and there are signs of over-resources and product backlogs in various companies, in John? At the insistence of Mr. Huntelaar, the Huntelaar consortium is still unswervingly continuing to expand, and it is expected that the momentum will continue to expand. A large number of mineral resources were acquired and mined, and more production lines were set up - representing the world's top level of assembly lines, which became almost the standard equipment of the major factories of the Huntelaar consortium. Moreover, under the guidance of Taylor's standardization, various product accessories of the Huntelaar consortium can also be used, which greatly reduces production costs and greatly improves production efficiency......

The question is, to whom is the produced stuff sold?

A large amount of minerals were refined, processed, and then turned into ingots of metal in the warehouse, and the explosives, artillery and warships that exceeded the need were lined up in the production plan list, completely regardless of whether there were orders or not, and even more exaggerated, trucks, generators, wireless telegraphy and other products were constantly being produced from the factory, which obviously exceeded the needs of the world!

Yes, in the eyes of many, it has exceeded the need.

Even though many of the Huntelaar consortium's products are in short supply, such as radios, generators, etc., after all, their product performance is the best in the world, and the world's needs are developing at a super high speed. But there is no doubt that in the eyes of most well-intentioned people, if the Huntelaar consortium increases its production capacity step by step, it will be enough for them to develop at a high speed, but the problem now is that their development speed is too fast!

According to many estimates, by the middle of next year at the latest, the production capacity of the Huntelaar consortium will greatly exceed demand!

The serious consequences of overcapacity have long been thoroughly studied in the capitalist world, and the performance of the Huntelaar consortium in using the Huntelaar Bank's capital dispatch ability to frantically expand the production capacity of various products is undoubtedly self-defeating in the eyes of many. Because of the characteristics of synthetic ammonia, automobiles, trucks, radios and other products, perhaps until the end of the year or even the beginning of next year, the products of the Huntelaar consortium will not worry about sales, but once the new round of production line expansion at the end of the year is completed, there will inevitably be a large backlog of products next year, and the huge product inventory, loan pressure, and the expansion of workers' salaries and other problems will undoubtedly crush the huge Huntelaar consortium and bring a huge disaster......

John remained unmoved by these calls.

Of course, he knew that this rate of development was abnormal and absolutely harmful to the Huntelaar consortium, but only if world history had changed dramatically and the First World War had not broken out!

Once World War I broke out, everything would be different.

If someone is interested in making statistics, the industries that the Huntelaar consortium is desperately expanding are all closely related to the war, such as minerals, such as those industries in which the products of the Huntelaar consortium occupy an absolutely dominant position, synthetic ammonia, trucks, and a large factory of an agricultural machinery manufacturing company that has been kept strictly secret so far. Of course, there are also more and more shipyards and shipping companies.

Once the war breaks out, the Huntelaar consortium will have an absolute head start.

John had been preparing for the war of 1914 for nearly twenty years, and he had long been determined to reap enough benefits from this unprecedented war to support his huge investment in the Far East for a long time to come. Therefore, no matter what the final outcome is, and no matter how much criticism he will personally receive in the future, he will not be able to change this determination......

Regardless of the outside world's opinions, John always controlled the operation of the Huntelaar consortium with a calm mind, and quickly accumulated everything needed for future wars. And in the Far East, whether it is the Huntelaar Bank or Yan Fuqing, under his remote command, they have begun to rapidly change many things in ancient China, education, industry, science and technology, and of course, the most important modern medicine!

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

It's just that when the time came to October 1913, when the new Nobel Prize winners were announced, and the news reached New York, John's heart couldn't help but make waves......
